## About Saira Extra Condensed

Saira Extra Condensed is a sans serif family that compresses the Saira design further than Saira Condensed: in the specimen the same alphabet takes clearly less line length, and the letters stand tall and tight, with straight-sided o and e and flat stroke ends. The official notes present Saira as a sans serif system spanning many weights and widths, and list this family with the normal width, Semi Condensed and Condensed. It has nine weights from Thin 100 to Black 900 as separate static files, no italic, and is not a variable font. Each font holds 773 glyphs in the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets. Hector Gatti designed the typeface and the Omnibus-Type team developed it. Saira Extra Condensed is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Tall poster headlines**: Extra-narrow capitals let a long title run at a large size across the width of a poster.
- **Mobile headers**: A headline that would wrap in a normal-width face can stay on one line on a phone.
- **Scoreboards and tickers**: ExtraBold and Black keep narrow letters heavy enough for scores and names in a tight strip.
- **Labels and tags**: Narrow letters fit product names and specifications onto small labels.

## Things to know

- **Narrowest Saira width**: Of the four widths named in the official notes, Extra Condensed is the tightest.
- **Nine static files**: Each weight from Thin to Black is a separate TTF.
- **No italic**: All styles are upright.
